4. Various Introduction Projects

(1) "Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program"

The "Postdoctoral Innovation Talent Support Program" is a support program for young top talents established by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the National Postdoctoral Administration Committee in 2016. This program is another important initiative to cultivate high-level innovative young top talents in China. Its purpose is to accelerate the cultivation of a number of outstanding young scientific and technological innovation talents who enter the frontiers of science and technology in the world.

Aiming at the major national strategies, strategic high-tech and frontier areas of basic science, the "BoXin Program" selects a group of fresh or recently graduated outstanding PhDs to engage in postdoctoral research in domestic postdoctoral institutions in conjunction with national laboratories and other key research bases. Each postdoctoral fellow will be given a grant of not less than 300,000 RMB per year (including postdoctoral daily expenses, research start-up expenses, and international academic exchange expenses) for a period of two years. The postdoctoral research unit will give financial support to the candidate according to a certain standard or proportion based on his scientific research performance during his stay. Up to now, a total of 50 people have been selected by Tongji University for the program. At the same time, the postdoctoral fellows who have received funding from the "BoXin Plan" can be directly included in the "Shanghai Super Postdoctoral Fellowship" through the recommendation of the station-establishing unit. The program will give each person a grant of 100,000 RMB per year. In addition, the university will provide a total of 360,000 RMB in housing allowance and performance for 3 years, and the postdoc annual salary can reach 400,000RMB or more.
